Some of my suburban friends pretty much thought I was going to be killed in the riots over the summer even though I live in one of the lowest crime neighborhoods in town and people weren't even being killed. Then one asked if I wanted to crash at his place in the burbs on election night "in case somebody tries something". They have absolutely no concept of what cities are like. It's crazy because I grew up in the same place they did. I swear this happened when they moved even further from the city. Are there a few areas I won't walk around alone at night? Sure, that's just being a smart city dweller. Do I live in constant fear of being murdered? God no.
Funny enough, my mom was worried about me on election night and the weeks after... because she thought that suburb and rural Trump supporters might be going into the city to try and start shit.
Yeah that was the part that baffled me. Like most cities, mine is extremely liberal. Hell even the burbs kind of are. I was like if Trump loses there's nobody here who cares enough to riot, if Biden loses anyone who cares is a huge pussy and won't do anything about it.
